Chapter 107:
After a while, Michelle managed to find her voice. “Is it true? You actually married him, Amelia p>
With the truth out, Amelia knew there was no turning back. She met Michelle’s eyes and told her everything.
Amelia finished her confession and waited, half-expecting Michelle to scold her, but not a single harsh word came. Instead, Michelle simply shifted in bed and said, “Amelia, I’m feeling a bit hungry. Would you mind getting me something to eat p>
The gentle request surprised Amelia, who almost protested, but Wyatt quietly said, “Go ahead. I’ll stay with her here p>
Uncertainty flickered in Amelia’s eyes, but with both of them urging her, she stepped out into the hallway.
No sooner had she left the room than Michelle’s gaze fixed on Wyatt, her expression a storm of mixed emotions. “I never thought, after everything, that Amelia would marry you in the end p>
Wyatt met her look with steady calm. “You remember—it was me who first asked to marry her. Jaxton was never the right man for her p>
Michelle didn’t let the topic slide. “And what about you? Are you sure you’re the man for her p>
The question made Wyatt pause. For a moment, he considered it, lost in thought. Eventually, he answered with quiet honesty, “The Stewarts are a complicated bunch, and I’m far from flawless. But I’ll do whatever it takes to keep her safe p>

If I didn’t want this, no one could make it happen. The truth is, I married Amelia because I love her p>
That final line drifted through the hallway just as Amelia reached the doorway, stopping her in her tracks. Wyatt loved her?
Amelia had believed he married her out of obligation—a debt from years past, an old promise hanging between them. Now, it felt as if her heart had been struck by lightning.
She slipped quietly back into the hospital room, both Michelle and Wyatt watching her with gentle expressions. She kept her eyes down, setting the food on the bedside table, not daring to meet Wyatt’s gaze.
To her surprise, Michelle said with a smile, “I think I’m not hungry anymore p>
Amelia wanted to urge her grandmother to eat, but Michelle simply squeezed her hand and said, “You made a wiser choice than your mother ever did. You’re married now, so cherish the life you’re building together p>
The meaning behind those words left Amelia puzzled. When she finally stepped into the hallway with Wyatt, she couldn’t help but ask, “What did you say to my grandmother while I was out p>
Wyatt met her question with quiet deliberation, choosing each word with care. “There’s something you should know, Amelia. Years ago, I actually went to your mother and asked her for your hand p>
